Didier de Radiguès: “Adventure, innovation, sustainably mobility and renewable energy are topics that interest me a lot since I’ve decided to quit racing a few years ago. That’s why one day I decided to do something with electric. I targeted an electric lap record and succeeded at Spa-Francorchamps. 80 Day Race shares my passion and takes electric mobility around the globe. I’m honoured to be part of it.”
